Advice for Making Screen Recorded Videos for Premiere

I want to use some screen recording software to record some tutorials on using various features of a website. The video will later be imported into CS5.5 where I will edit it, add transitions, titles and voice overs. The final videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
1. Can anyone recommend a size that I should use when recording my screen? Should I start as high as possible and later downconvert?
2. What is a good size to upload to YouTube these days for something like this where I want to make sure the user will be able to see the details of a link, button, etc.?
3. Does Premiere hae any built in way for me to create arrows and use them to point to different parts of my video or will I need to make these in Photoshop and import them into Premiere?
Thanks!!!

I do not edit screen captures, so these are only saved, not personal experience

  • Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

    Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.
    Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

    2nd vote:
    without doubt - Screenflow
    why ?
    because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts ) ..
    side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)
    not cheap, but worth every cent!

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
    Cheapest and very good image editor?
    PIxelmator.
    Located in the Mac App Store. $14.99 USD.

  • Screen Recording Software For Mac

    Hello
    I'm looking for Screen Recorder software for 10.4 - I understand there's a version of Quick Time which actually has a built-in feature to enable 'on-screen' recording.  I would also pay for such a software program.
    I searched the internet and came up with this, (10.4 Min Syst. Requirement).
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw0q2pBRC3jrb24JjE8VgS JAAyIzAd2x1gOSnPArra1lqkyYzWULASUpCYYvJ007VdBLy9exoC19zw_wcB
    Has anyone tried this, or knows where there's a decent program?
    Thanx for your help!
    Mike

    That is the cheapest I've seen, but beware...
    * During installation of this download you will be given the option to install Google® Chrome and closely related programs from the NCH Software suite. These are optional and you can select what you want depending on your requirements.
    Likely adware as well as the Chrome spyware, & very well may be Intel 10.4 & above only.
    I think Quicktime Pro had such an option, good luck finding that though!

  • What Mac should i get for serious Audio recording, Video editing and Graphic's?

    Hey im new to Macs and i want to upgrade to one. My question is what one?.. My current system is not powerfull enough to handle what i am doing and i want to upgrade. I plan on using the mac for serious music recording with protools or cubase, video editing and effects with adobe premiere pro and after effects and graphics and web type stuff the rest of the adobe collection.. ex photoshop, dreamweavor, flash, illistrator, etc. So pretty much i need it to handle the adobe cs5.5 master collection and a music recording daw without bogging down. I do serious music recording and video editing and effects that need power behind it and runs smoothly. Any tips, tricks, advise, etc would be greatly appreachated!. Btw im a college student and plan on getting the discount prices in the adobe collection and hopefully the mac and would like to get the best quality computer for the best price!
    Thanks!

    Buying refurbs from Apple is a great idea - except for my current iMac, all my Macs have been refurbished. However, I would only get a factory refurb from Apple - they come with the same warranty as new units and you can buy Applecare to extend that to a total of 3 years. And, as far as I know, the Apple online store is the only place where you can get factory refurbs.

  • Advice on compressing screen capture movies for web ?

    Hello everyone,
    I just am curious about what is the best way to go for compressing screen captures so that they maintain the best clarity for text. I've gone back and forth between MP4 (improved) and quicktime movies set to h.264... I am just curious what the general opinion here of what is best to use? It seems that MP4 improved produces larger files with less quality... Also it was a little confusing to see that compressor's h264 option is for "apple devices" or "dvd studio pro" and thus doesn't offer streaming as an option as it does with mp4-- so the only way to properly produce h264 files for web is to use the quicktime option and select h264 as it's compression type? Is this correct?
    -patrick

    What is the frame size of your source clip, and what frame size have you chosen for your output?
    Exactly what settings have you tried so far? Please share some details
    I would recommend using the Apple > Other Workflows > Web > Download > QuickTime 7 compatible > H.264 LAN as a starting point.
    Set a frame size (i.e. 1280x800, 1024x768 or 768x480, if you have a widescreen computer display) and adjust the video bitrate accordingly. The frame size you choose, should be divisible by 16, 8 or 4, for best quality. Have a look at this article for more info on that: http://www.flashsupport.com/books/fvst/files/tools/video_sizes.html
    For more info about H.246 and macroblocks, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
    For more details on getting the most out of H.264, have a look at the Apple tutorial Creating Amazing Video Content with H.264.
    1. Find the frame size you would like to end up with
    2. Adjust the video bitrate accordingly (set the keyframe interval to automatic)
    3. Enable Frame Controls in the Inspector window, and set the Resize Filter to Better or Best (gives you much better quality on downscaling, than without frame controls - do a test and see for your self)
    An other good tip, is to set an in/out point in the Preview window in Compressor, with a duration of maybe about 10 secs. That way you do not need to encode the whole clip just to test your settings. Add multiple settings, before you submit the batch. When it is done, see which one you think looks the best compared to file size.

  • Recording Video for Email with Built-In ISight

    I am using iMovie HD and the built-in iSight camera to record video messages. While I certainly want the video to be sent with everything in its right place, it would be easier to make the video if during recording the image were a mirror image (as if I were looking in a mirror). This is done for iChat. Can this be done while recording in iMovie?

    No; iChat has that facility built in. You see yourself as if in a mirror; the other person sees you as you are.
    To do it in iMovie you'd need to record your footage, then apply the 'Mirror' video effect to the clip ..it's under 'Editing', beneath the Clips pane, and then the 'Video F/X' tab.
    You'd have to slide the 'Horizontal' slider all the way to the right in order to flip the clip and get a proper mirror image. Rendering may take a while, depending on how long your clip is.
    The audio will probably be dreadful, so it's best to Extract the audio from the clip first, before 'Mirror'ing.
    But why email a mirror image of yourself? It'd look very odd to the recipient! (..even if it looks OK to you..) ..Whoever receives it - if they know you - will think that something's wrong; your smile will be wrong (tilted the wrong way), any distinguishing marks will look wrong ..it just won't look like you at all!

  • How to record video for use in IMovie?

    Hello. I'm new to MAC & IMovie, and I would appreciate knowing how to capture my video recordings using my USB linked video camera, instead of FaceTime. I would like to record a series of videos, and then import them and edit them in IMovie. Thank you.

    Hey videoiq2014!
    Here are the instructions for achieving this goal:
    iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14675
    While the title of this article is meant for the FaceTime camera, in step 2, the article instructs you to choose the camera you wish to record with. In this step, you should choose your USB camera. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Making an explanatory video for users of Azure

    I went to MSDN to post a question to a forum on Azure, but when I click 'ask a question' it takes me here to "machine learning" instead of to "features", "pricing" etc..  
    Anyway, the question is this.  I had a trial version of Azure, and I put up maybe 800 meg of videos and I also used Azure media services to get URLS to them that I could view in a webpage.
    I looked at my costs (my bill), and it looked like I was only getting charged about a dollar a month.
    I couldn't believe this, and since I also did not know how to terminate my account, or even delete the storage that I was using up, I just stopped paying.  
    Now, I want my website users to get their own storage from Microsoft, and I want to give them an explanatory video that shows them how to use Azure media services so that they can store their own videos, and also post the URL to my website, where they can
    watch those videos with some features added by my website.
    But I need to be sure I understand the billing, before I create this tutorial video for them.  
    If they put up perhaps 40 videos of 100 meg each (4000 meg is about 4 Gigabytes) and use the media services etc.  Are they really only going to be charged a few dollars a month?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gidmaestro,
    A Media Service account is tightly coupled with one (or more) storage accounts. If you already have a storage account, you may choose to assign it to your new Media Service account. Please refer to
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/ for the azure storage billing details.

  • Quicktime for full screen recording

    Is there anyway I can do full screen recording using Quicktime. I can't seem to get it working when in full screen mode. Is there any keystrokes that I can use while in full screen mode?

    What I meant was if I am playing a youtube video in full screen mode how do I capture that?
    Update : OK I think I have this licked. I just click on the record button, click on the existing screen and then swipe to another space where the full screen video is playing. Cool.

  • Question for Ralph Johns, recording video chat?

    Ralph,
    I noticed that on one of the thread you said that you could record video chat using Quicktime pro. How do you do that, I have been looking and looking on the ichat pref and quicktime pro pref menu, can't seem to see how to setup recording of ichat????
    Thanks

    Sorry my fault. I was partially remembering some of the work by EZ Jim who used to post here and who has given me a copy of his Blog. http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html

  • Screen Recording Video - Which Preset do I use?

    Hi. I am using a free screen recording software...I've tried both CamStudio and Debut...and I was wondering which Preset I should use when I create a new project? I'm thinking Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder but I don't know for sure...
    I am having trouble getting the video to export sharp and clear. The videos are good quality when I record but something seems to be happening to the files when I import them into Premiere and add my animations. When I export back out as .flv (to add to website) they are extremely low quality.
    I'm wondering if this has to do with the preset from the very beginning. I've worked on videos within Premiere before but they were using actual footage from the video camera...not using Screen Recording devices.
    I've tried exporting the files as .AVI, .MOV, .MPG, etc. and still get the same low-quality export.
    Thank you.
    Leslie

    Leslie,
    I cannot tell you the Preset directly, but think that you might find some useful information in the links in this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,
